Shooting at N. Illinois University

[Bizcuits]

A local hospital tells CNN affiliate CLTV that it expects to receive 15 patients and have so far treated at least two.

I'm at work right now, but my cousin who's home said he heard 18 are dead.

I don't think I will be patronizing any place in a so called gun free zone. Its a mass murder waiting to happen.

Gun free zones are free fire zones. I would think they would have learned that by now.

18 shot, only 3 confirmed dead right now (including the shooter.) 4 of 5 who have arrived at the hospital have head wounds.

Supposedly was a white male with "a shotgun and pistol".

Doesn't Illinois have one of the better Brady grades and stricter gun control positions in the US?

Not to mention everytime I look at an online auction or website I see "no sales" or "won't ship to" ; San Francisco, NYC, Chicago, D.C., Maryland, etc.

or "no ammo to Illinois without a FOID card" whatever the hell that is.

They are ranked 9th in the U.S. by the brady's

It's like the waves, they come in sets, swells and periods

Ah crap. Who was just talking about gun control not being an issue for the dems this time around...

LOL - it's always an issue. It's a matter of when, not if.

To quote "may'be not today, may'be not tomorrow but someday and you're going to regret"

Dang... Looks like some of my projects will be on hold while I stock up on HiCaps and Receivers.

Anyone have the number to the CNN newsroom? The strictest firearms control, yet this happens, and the students/teachers have no way to protect themselves!

Legal Notices - Northern Illinois University

firearms. Students may not have or keep any firearm on their persons, in their quarters, or in their motor vehicles at any time while on university property except with the permission of the chief security officer of the university.

Another gun free zone ...

What about this type of action looks the least bit appealing??

We are talking about it aren't we? Thats a whole lot of attention these nut cases receive for this kind of crap... Someone needs to invent a "Spot the Psycho" machine.

I like the term "Defenseless Victim Zone" myself.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict loud cries for more gun control as a solution. I know, I know, it's crazy talk but I'm going to go with my gut on this one.

CNN says the perp had a shotgun in class.

Again my heart mourns for those/family hurt or killed. Every school should muster from staff or have a on campus emergency response team to rapidly put any nut job down. Down with "gun safe zones" and up with shall issue CCW.

my prayers to the victims, hopefully the uncouth perp had birdshot instead of buck, so that the victims may be sustained lesser injuries
